NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Senior Rebecca Cline led
the Tennessee Tech women's cross country team Saturday and was one
of three veterans to post career-best 5K times as the Golden Eagles
placed 16th among 20 teams at the Vanderbilt Commodore Classic.

Cline, along with seniors Yeshi Dohrmann
and Meghan
O'Donoghue, all posted career-best numbers. Cline covered the
route in 18:57.52 to place 56th overall individually. Senior Peri
Winborne was next for Tech, finishing 9n 20:20.60 for 97th
place, finishing just off her career-best time. Finishing third for
coach Tony Cox's team was senior Amelia McCoy, also
narrowly missing her PR with a time of 20:30.34 to place 102nd.

The career-best times put Dohrmann in 103rd place at 20:31.12,
while O'Donoghue was 107th in 20:37.88. Freshman Claire Cashin, running
that distance for the first time in her Tech career, placed 118th
in 21:31.34. Elizabeth

Mississippi State (100) fourth, and Central Arkansas (160) fifth to
complete the top five. Belmont, one of XXX OVC teams in the field,
